COV Nova Role is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Nová Role, a town in the Karlovarský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,271 people and is part of the country's wastewater infrastructure managed under Czech national regulations aligned with EU directives. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity of 5,000 m³/day indicates the plant is sized to accommodate future growth, with current discharge volumes around 895 m³/day. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Ohře River basin, a tributary of the Elbe River. This river system flows through the Czech Republic and into Germany, eventually reaching the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in this transboundary basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Ohře River basin, which flows into the Elbe River and then to the North Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, protecting downstream habitats and water quality in the Elbe estuary.
